BILL NUMBER: S4560 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the education law, in relation to computing approved operating expenses for school districts of PURPOSE : This bill would adjust the formula used to compute approved operating expenses (AOE). When the state aid formula was revised in 2007-08, categorical grant programs such as class size reduction, magnet schools and teacher support were merged with operating aid into a new Foundation Aid formula. While this approach has resulted in greater simplicity and equity in education financing, it has had the unintended consequence of artificially inflating some district's approved operating expense (AOE). Previously, districts receiving this type of categorical aid had the option of accounting for these funds separately from their general operations account. Funds accounted for in this way were not included in the calculation of AOE. A district's AOE is used to calculate both the charter school tuition rate and the amount that the district must spend per student before triggering eligibility for high cost excess cost aid for that student. This bill would allow school districts to continue to account for those funds in the same way that they did in 2006-07, thus maintaining charter school tuition payments

While this approach has resulted in greater simplicity and equity in education financing, it has had the unintended consequence of artificially inflating the approved operating expense (AOE) in city school districts of those cities having populations in excess of one hundred twenty five thousand but less than one million. Previously, districts receiving this type of categorical aid had the option of accounting for these funds separately from their general operations account.
